How much does a jockey have to weigh?
It depends. If it is a non-handicap race, you want to be as light as you can be. If it is a handicap race, however, it depends on how much weight the horse is supposed to carry. You want to be as close to that weight as possible. Like, if the horse is carrying 100 pounds and the tack weighs 5 pounds, you want to be 95 pounds or maybe a little bit less. the reason you want to be as close to the weight as possible is because they put dead weight to make up for the weight the jockey and saddle don't provide and it is easier for the horse to run with live weight (you) than dead weight (the weights that are put in the tack).
